Field Experience 1: Identifying Instructional strategies
My Tutor at Wiskid Learning centre told me that presently modern technology remains
commonly used as compared to other learning options. Most of the learners love interacting with
the smart board, computers, whiteboard, cell phones, as well as their laptops. The students
participated in various interactive games to provide them with a motivating factor to finish their
activity fast, and numerous interactive games are well-timed. The tutor allowed me to be
observed that standards that they were using before he started teaching. I typically observed that
the tutor went by the code of the school. The teacher permitted collaborative learning in the
classroom. The ELL students were provided with a longer duration of time to aid them to prepare
as well as engaged with the class.
Field Experience 2: Summary of Lesson Plan
The mentoring tutor educates me on how to detect incorporated supportive, higher
thinking skills. He told me that I should observe and be keen on the questions. He said that the
questions should be inspiring enough to stir the thinking skills of the students. The mentor tutor
said charts and graphs also enhance learners to think deep. Also, I realized that problem-solving
strategies aids stimulate learners to think deep. The mentoring tutor told me that when the
environment of the classroom remains motivating as well as encouraging learners shall actively
participate in learning. From this classroom environment, I observed that most learners prefer
encouraging questions as well as the charts and graphs. All these shall help me in preparing the
lesson plan.

Field Experience 3: Higher-order Thinking
My mentoring tutor instructed me to look at he posts a discussion for students. I observed
that four steps could motivate the learners to participate in discussion in class. First of all, a tutor
should ask the learners to identify the theory, idea as well as research findings. Second, the tutor
said the learners should be asked on what they believe remains essential when it comes to theory,
ideas as well as research findings. Then the learners should be asked to employ what they have
learned from their discussion. Lastly, the tutor should ask if there is any question regarding the
discussion. The various examples of things that encourage innovation thinking include visual
reflection as well as mindset moments.
All these learning experiences enable me to prepare the lesson plan.
